[chirp_users] Upgrading CHIRP on Ubuntu 23.04?

[Jon Gauthier]

Removing the old package and installing the new one worked, but there
should be a more "efficient" method...

This worked:
jon at jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx list
venvs are in /home/jon/.local/pipx/venvs
apps are exposed on your $PATH at /home/jon/.local/bin
   package chirp 20230531, installed using Python 3.11.2
    - chirp
    - chirpc
jon at jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx uninstall-all
uninstalled chirp! ✨ 🌟 ✨
jon at jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx install --system-site-packages
./chirp-20230601-py3-none-any.whl
  installed package chirp 20230601, installed using Python 3.11.2
  These apps are now globally available
    - chirp
    - chirpc
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨

Any way to upgrade on a flagged system like Ubuntu 23.04 in the future
without removing the old one first?
